Does anyone else have this game yet? Have any of you actually MANAGED TO PLAY IT!? So far I've spent £110 to update my graphics card and it still won't play. I haven't even got past the title screen because my 'direct3d failed to initialise" What the hell!? I have directx 9 recently installed so why hasn't direct3d come with it. Why won't it work on my PC. Can someone please help me get Direct3d working or actually just help me get it so I can play my game?

Windows XP
Celeron 1.70 Ghz
240mb RAM
Everything is over the required amount to play the game it just tells me that Direct3D can't initialise...I don't even have Direct3D On my PC for sme reason I thought I was meant to get it when I download DirectX9 but nope not there...and its still saying I'm using the generic graphics card when I'm not and all the drivers have been installed for it...

I'm a massive FF fan, and even I'm not bothering with this game. Far, far more trouble and money than its worth.  Plus, in order to get the most out of an MMORPG, it helps if you have absence of a life.  |

downloading the graphilcal software drivers for your card could help, also make sure the old one is removed et ectera.

Thanks SuperSonicJim. I also forgot to attach my monitor to the new card so I did that as well when I made sure it was in correctly and reinstalled all the drivers and now it works great.
w00t ffxi heaven ;D Highly reccomended to anyone whose a fan of the series and is looking for something new. It sure as hell reminds me of Phantasy Star online but soooo much better
